get_wait_time: obtain the waiting time to the next event
In SimRVPedigree: Simulate Pedigrees Ascertained for a Rare Disease

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

get_wait_time approximates the result of the inverse cumulative distribution function of the waiting time to the next event associated with a non-homogeneous Poisson process conditioned of the time of the last event.

1	get_wait_time(p, last_event, hazard, part, scale = FALSE)

`p`	Numeric. A probability; i.e. the argument of the quantile function of the waiting time associated with a non-homogeneous Poisson process with rate `hazard`.
`last_event`	A positive number. The time at last event.
`hazard`	A vector of positive numbers. The time-specific hazard rate.
`part`	A vector of positive numbers. Time partition over which to apply the time-specific hazard rate.
`scale`	Logical. By default `scale = FALSE`. Specifying `scale = TRUE` ensures that this function is the quantile function for a proper random variable.

get_wait_time obtains the waiting time to next event associated with a non-homogeneous Poisson process. The units of the simulated waiting time are the units specified in part, i.e. if part is specified in years, the simulated waiting time is in years.

The waiting time to next event, units same as those in part.
